Application March a, 1944, serial No. 525,790 7 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a combined drink cooler and sipper.

More particularly, the invention proposes an article as mentioned which is characterized by a closed container for refrigerant material, said container to have a removable cap for filling purposes and being adapted to be placed in the beverage to be cooled. It is proposedto arrange a sipper tube along the side wall of the container so that the cooled drink may be sipped.

The invention contemplates constructing said closed container of various designs, as for example, in the design of a'flsh. flower, bottle, or other object. 7 4

Furthermore, the invention proposes constructing the sipper tube and the container integral.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, andto the appended claims in which the various novelfeatures of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure- Fig. 1 is an illustration of a combined drink cooler and sipper constructed in accordance with one form of this invention.

it may be easily engaged between one's lips. The

. bottom end of the tube It terminates a small projection is upon the sipper tube is is adapted to engage the rim of the glass ii for supporting Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 3-4 of Fig. 2. i

Fig. 4 is an illustration of a combined drink cooler and sipper embodying another form of this invention.

Fig. 5 is another illustration of a combined drink cooler and sipper constructed according to another modified form of this invention.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line H of P18. 5.

Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view of the drink cooler, also taken on the line of Fig. 5.

The combined drink cooler and sipper, in accordance with that form of the invention disclosed in Figs. 1-3, includes a closed container ll for refrigerant. This container is provided with a removable cap H for filling purposes. The container III is of a design so that it may be placed within a drink to be cooled. In Fig. 1 the dot and dash lines I! schematically illustrate a glass holding a drink and illustrate the new drink cooler and sipper engaged into the glass.

A sipper-like tube It extends alon the side wall of the container II. The top end of the tube is projects above the container in so that the sipper upon the glass.

The container l0 may be constructed of any desired shape to simulate any desired object. In

the form disclosed, it simulates a fish. It m y,

be provided with suitable surface ornamentation.

In Fig. 4 another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form merely in design. In this form of the invention the 'combineddrink cooler and sipper includes a container 20 for refrigerant material and provided with a removable cap 2| for filling purposes. The container 20 is adapted to be engaged in a drink to be cooled, such as within a glass, schematically illustrated by the dot and dash lines 22. A sipper tube 24 extends along the side wall of the container Ill. The container 20 is of a floral design. It is provided with several leaves 2! which may act as hooks for supporting the drink cooler and sipper-on the edse of the glass 22. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to that previously shown and like reference numerals identify like parts in each of the several views.

In Figs. 5-! still another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed which is very similar to the prior form, distinguishing essentially in the construction of the sipper tube 34. More specifically, the drink cooler and sipper includes a closed container ll in the shape of standard soda bottle design. This container so is adapted to hold refrigerant material. It is provided with a removable cap II for filling purposes. In Fig.

-5 it is shown engaged into and supported on a glass as by a projecting hook 35.

A sipper tube 34 extends along the side wall of the container 30. This sipper tube 34 has several coils so as to increase its length. Essentially, the sipper tube 34 has a top inlet portion 34' which connects with a portion 34" extending down the wall of the container 30, which continues into a.

portion 34 extending up to-near the top or the container Ill, and then continues into a downwardly extending portion 34 which terminates in a bottom end 34' externally of and at the bottom of the container ll. Since the sipper tube 34 is capable of holding a relatively larger quantity of the liquid being cooled, said drink is more eiiectively cooled.

In each oi the forms of the invention disclosed the sipper tubes extend internally along the side walls of the containers.

While we have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments 01' our invention, it is to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to the precise constructions herein disclosed d the right is reserved to all changes and modifl ations coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. A combined drink cooler and sipper, comprising a closed container for refrigerant and having a removable cap for filling purposes, and adapted to be placed in a drink to be cooled, and a sipper tube extending along the side wall of said container.

2. A combined drink cooler and sipper, comprising a closed container for refrigerant and having a removable cap for filling purposes, and adapted to be placed in a drink to be cooled, and a sipper tube extending along the sidewall of prising a closed container iorrefrigerant and having a removable cap for filling purposes, and adapted to be placed in a drink to be cooled, and a sipper tube extending along the side wall or said container, and extending inside oi. the

container.

4. A combined drink cooler and sipper, comprising a. closed container for refrigerant and having a removable cap for filling purposes, and adapted to be placed in a drink to be cooled, and a sipper tube extending along the side wall of said. container, and extending inside of the container, and having its ends outside of said container.

5. A combined drink cooler and sipper, comprising a closed container for refrigerant and having a, removable cap for filling purposes, and adapted to be placed in a drink to be cooled, and a sipper tube extending along the side wall of said container, and having several coils within said'container.
